OK, here's a couple pictures of my two Wollensak 6¼" (159mm) f12.5 Ext. WA lenses.
Here's the new one (link to the eBay auction in my original post). It just arrived yesterday. It's in a non-synch Rapax shutter, and is in extremely fine condition. It was old stock from a camera store, and apparently, I am the original owner. It shows minor signs of being handled over the years, but was never sold until I bought it off eBay. The shutter needs a CLA. Once that's done. I'll give it a try.
Here's' a photo of it next to my "older" sample. Although the shutter on the one on the right shows more signs of use, the glass is perfect. For those concerned about prices, I got that one late last Fall on eBay, I'd have to look up the exact price, but I know it was well below $300, perhaps even less than $250. The shutter just got back from a CLA, and I plan to shoot with this one in the next couple of weeks. It's in a Rapax Synchromatic shutter.
It's a bit hard to tell due to a hot spot in the photo, but the serial number is 703227. The one on the left should be readable and is 736166.
